Hey everybody, running a new install of debian etch and ISPConfig 2.2.21 and I just wanted to connect to my database through a php script and I keep getting this error message. mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) I did read a bunch of stuff already about this problem, but couldn't find a solution yet. Here my outputs: Code: delta:/# netstat -tap Aktive Internetverbindungen (Server und stehende Verbindungen) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 *:10851 *:* LISTEN 3336/perl tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 2559/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:81 *:* LISTEN 2975/ispconfig_http tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 3310/proftpd: (acce tcp 0 0 delta.twinmotion:domain *:* LISTEN 3288/named tcp 0 0 localhost:domain *:* LISTEN 3288/named tcp 0 0 localhost:953 *:* LISTEN 3288/named tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 3258/master tcp6 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN 2702/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:pop3s *:* LISTEN 2721/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN 2707/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:imap2 *:* LISTEN 2685/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 2921/apache2 tcp6 0 0 *:domain *:* LISTEN 3288/named tcp6 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 2826/sshd tcp6 0 0 ip6-localhost:953 *:* LISTEN 3288/named tcp6 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 3258/master tcp6 0 0 *:https *:* LISTEN 2921/apache2 Code: delta:/# ps aux | grep mysql root 2522 0.0 0.0 2672 1328 ?

Restarted the server already and also deleted the my.cnf and replaced it with the original version. I'd be thankful for some help. -Eddie
yes, the script is on the same server. After messing around myself for awhile, I just reinstalled everything and now it is working! I don't know what was wrong, because after comparing things, everything was after the reinstall the same as before. Thanks for helping anyways.
